I watched a video on Youtube last night which showed off a large mod called Rochester which appeared to be heavily inspired by Arthurian myth. However it does seem to only be in German and doesn't seem to be on Nexus at present.

To be honest, no. It owes far more to Tolkien and Norse mythology in general, and a bit of Roman Empire thown in.

Arthur was probably based on a real person, in the period after Rome and before the Anglo-Saxons took over the land but the earliest stories are nothing like the later, medieval embellishments we're familiar with.

Arthur 'existed' in the late 5th to early 6th century AD - kinda right smack at the beginning of the Dark Age. As a matter of fact, Britain used to be *part* of the Roman Republic until less than a century before the events of Arthurian legend take place.

But other than that, sure Skyrim is a lot like Arthurian Britain.

Well, except for the Scandinavian influences.Oh, and the widespread use of magic (Arthur is a *low* fantasy setting, Skyrim is high fantasy)Also, the elvesAnd the lack of a guy who gets a sword from a strange lady lying in a pond and becomes king - that's no basis for a system of government.Well, there's also the lack of questing knights.An over abundance of dragons.

Actually...I'm told there is a nod to Arthur somewhere in the game. A lake with a woman holding a sword up...I've yet to find it...but according to wiki it is an easter egg. However, an easter egg does not make it based on.

Well..it's similar in Arthurian legend due to the fact that there are swords. And stones. Horses too... Kings, Queens, Guillotines...oh wait there's no guillotines..my mistake. ;)
